About
A wheat-germ ferment used for conditioning, hydration, and antioxidant support. Fermentation helps, but wheat-derived ingredients can still matter to very sensitive users.
Saccharomyces/Wheat Germ Ferment Filtrate is the filtrate of the fermentation of Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ by the microorganism, Saccharomyces. Fermentation can generate sugars, amino acids, peptides, and postbiotic metabolites that support hydration and skin feel. The main caution is simply source-related sensitivity and limited ingredient-specific human data, not a major regulatory red flag.
